Thanks, of course, that explains it (at least to me, particular

Fair enough, you mean if you suddenly landed in it by mistake...
I was tidying up old things (some way to go I guess):

I assume you are saying accessibility markup is left out. This is
the sort of thing I was interested in. I almost never use image
maps these days... but still, as an exercise, refurbishing some
old stuff, I am wondering about it and must put it in for good
form. Not that it would be likely to help anyone really in this
particular case. But in more serious cases, yes...
